V-Ray for Rhino

A Rendering Plug-in for Designers

Rhino users in all fields - from engineering and product design to 3D animation - depend on V-Ray as a quick, easy and cost efficient way to render their most cutting-edge images. Developed by the Chaos Group, V-Ray for Rhino works with Robert McNeel & Associates' Rhinoceros, one of the most popular Windows-based NURBS modeling tools available today. Some key features of V-Ray for Rhino include:

V-RayRT® - a revolutionary new rendering engine that provides instant feedback and streamlines scene setup. Because V-RayRT® is built upon the same robust core as V-Ray®, it is seamless to transition between the two.

Sphere Light- adds a spherical area light to the V-Ray 1.5 for Rhino toolset.

Additional Parameters such as roughness for diffuse BRDFs, along with exit color and max. depth for reflections and refractions, provide new levels of control when creating materials in V-Ray for Rhino.

Tried the 1.0 demo under AGVIS and fell in love - it was better than great. Bought the 1.5 version after ChaosGroup took ownership. Beware an 11 page install guide with dongle you have to program. Took many days to get it running. Support coming from Bulgaria was polite but mostly unhelpful. Disappointed and found the whole situation absurd for a single license user.

V-Ray for Archviz1/17/2012 de 'Matus' de Matus

Archviz in Rhino was never so easy! V-Ray is able to handle whole forest areas using proxy technology, which is missing in all other render engines. Also feature of Realtime preview is very handy, when searching for correct lighting scheme in the scene. Previews in V-Ray are generated very easily and fast even with heavy geometry, so our clients have very good and fast response on their comments and changes in visualizations. I recommend V-Ray to all, who wants to get best possible images as fast as possible.

VRay a must for Rhino 45/23/2007 de 'Mike Spence' de Mike Spence

I have now fully moved over from Flamingo and Penguin to using VRay. The results, and the speed, have been stunning. The range of materials initially seems a bit limited, but you can create your own from scratch. It took me 1 day to get to reasonable grips with this renderer, and the effects I can now create are vivid and much more accurate than I could ever get with Flamingo. I would just like to find more materials libraries for Rhino 4/Vray, similar to those who use 3DS and VRay.

What I consider to be: absolutely stunning results. Can be a one button renderer w/ VISOPTS (SEE: downloads - very fast) (not as complicated /nor the potential of Brazil), but to make it sing you are going to have to know what you are doing. Support cares, but the RDK6 breakdown is a bit of a fiasco.

The Good: Great results really easily for basic materials + lighting. Much faster than Flamingo. Nice shadows.
The Bad: Very complicated user interface. For me, I would like to have advanced drop-downs so that someone could dig deeper into the engine as they need to. You really have to read the manual, or have a lot of previous experience with rendering packages to understand what is going on. No way of doing decals that I can find. The manual could be more clear.

Excellent all around...and FAST!10/19/2007 de 'Chris Jacobs' de Chris Jacobs

As much as I love Flamingo...and still use it (because I like the rendering style) - Vray is a superb rendering engine with the ability to bring your rhino models to life. Not only is it easy to use with a point-and-click render (set it and forget it) engine...it's also a very powerful feature-rich renderer. If you can afford it (as it's not cheap), and you're looking for a renderer for Rhino that can take you to that next level...this is the product you've been waiting for. I own Maxwell, and have had nothing but issues with it. I've never used it in any type of production environment. when I finally installed the 30-day demo of Vray...I was blown away...and will never (yes, never) use Maxwell again.

v-ray offers superb results even with default white plastic and aluminum materials. a bit un-intuitive at the beginning, the results are photo-realistic and stunning, even though I'm no render guru! it's great to use it directly from rhino!
